PAISt is a large genomic island located in the chromosome of the plant pathogen Streptomyces turgidiscabies Car8. The island carries clustered virulence genes, transfers to other Streptomyces species, and integrates by site-specific recombination at the 8 bp palindrome TTCATGAA. The palindrome is located at the 3' end of the bacitracin resistance gene (bacA). We demonstrate that PAISt is able t...

Streptomyces is an extremely important bacterium for industry, since approximately two thirds of all antibiotics are synthesized by members of this genus. Furthermore, Streptomycetes produce large numbers of eukaryotic cell differentiation and apoptosis inducers. Streptomyces is a mycelial soil bacterium characterized by a complex developmental cycle that includes programmed cell death (PCD) ph...

With the growing economic significance of some Streptomyces species, the necessity of establishing their precise characteristies in well-defined specific terms becomes of great theoretical and practical importance (Waksman, 1957). The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study of the main morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of cultures belonging to the Str...

Five strains of Streptomyces (CAI-24, CAI-121, CAI-127, KAI-32 and KAI-90) were earlier reported by us as biological control agents against Fusarium wilt of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC). In the present study, the Streptomyces were characterized for enzymatic activities, physiological traits and further evaluated in greenhouse and field for their plant growth promoti...

An actinomycete, strain FXJ46(T), was isolated from cypress forest soil in northern China and shown to have chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with streptomycetes. It developed greyish aerial mycelium and pinkish-brown substrate mycelium on oatmeal agar. Phylogenetic analyses based on an almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain and on the 120 nucleotide variable ...

conclusions from the results, it was concluded that agricultural lands around pakistan council of scientific and industrial research (pcsir) campus lahore were rich sources of industrially important streptomyces, especially s. avermitilis. results the 10 selected isolates were identified as the avermectin-producing strain by fermentation and characterized on isp2 medium for aerial and reverse s...

objective(s): the development of reliable and ecofriendly process for the synthesis of nano-metals is an important aspect in the field of nanotechnology. nano-metals are a special group of materials with broad area of applications. materials and methods: in this study, extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles (snps) performed by use of the gram positive soil streptomycetes. streptomycete...

background and objectives: proteases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the degradation of proteins resulting in the pro- duction of their amino acid constituents. they are the most important group of industrial enzymes which account for about 60% of total enzymes in the market and produced mainly by microorganisms. the attempts were made to study the kinetic parameters of protease produced b...

the streptomycetes sp. scbt strain gen bank accession number eu143270 isolated from the rhizosphere soil of medicinal plants was collected from the kolli hills of tamil nadu, india. the strain streptomyces is designated as school of chemical and biotechnology (scbt), capable of inhibiting the growth of a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. an almost complete 16s rrna gene se...
